Serie A, also called Serie A TIM due to sponsorship by TIM, is a professional league competition for football clubs located at the top of the Italian football league system and the winner is awarded the Scudetto and the Coppa Campioni d’Italia.

Serie A could introduce five substitutions a match, after a request was sent by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to football’s lawmakers.



The move is backed by Italy’s top-flight clubs who want more choice, with teams already allowed to name 12 substitutes on the bench.

The five changes would be made over three stoppages, to reduce the number of breaks in play.

Serie C already allows five su uhbstitutes.

FIGC president Gabriele Gravina has sent the request to the International Football Association Board (Ifab). Kikgist.com.ng

Champions League and Europa League games permit a fourth substitute in extra-time and it will also be allowed at the 2020 European Championship.
